Armchair BEA [Day 3]: Giveaway + Literature Fiction

Hey guys! Sorry about no post yesterday but i was out sick >_< I'm feeling better today! So let's get this started!
Topic: LITERARY FICTION
I have NO idea what would be considered literary fiction but as one blogger mentioned it's "literature that changed or impacted your life". So if we're dealing with that then i would have to say books that changed my life would beUGLIES and The Great Gatsby! Uglies made me believe that not all books were boring. It got me out of reading books just for class and got me into reading YA books. It showed me that there is no ONE true form of beauty and that we have to stand up for what we believe in.THE GREAT GATSBY on the other hand changed me because it made me see that even those school "mandated" books could be fun and enjoyable again.THE GIVEAWAY!
Well it's time again for a GIVEAWAY! I'm sorry for my international followers but this is US ONLY!a Rafflecopter giveaway

TEHE I NEED SEIGE & STORM TOO! And yeah even thought at the time it seemed like a painful thing to do, now I realize that I read some pretty amazing books in HS :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting Meagan, much <33!

Most of the books that made an impact on my life were the ones I read in childhood--A Wrinkle in Time, Chronicles of Narnia, etc. I'd choose either Siege & Storm or the Testing--hard to decide!(but probably The Testing).

Hey Jack!!! U MUST READ UGLIES LIKE NOW @_@ *seriously it was an amazing book* I SO wanted to make this international but couldn't >_< * ya know with the bad economy and all :P* Thanks for stopping by and still commenting Jack :D Many bloggy hugs!!!

If I hadn't already pre-ordered Siege and Storm I would have picked that one! I think I'd go with Ink maybe. I'm from Florida and it's hot here! The books that most impacted me would be the Harry Potter books. They got me reading again.

:D YAY we got a Potter fan in the house! And I'm currently reading INK and I am really loving it! So can not wait till its unleashed on the readerverse :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting Dana, many blogger hugs!!!

really want to read The Great Gatsby. Way before the movie came out and all. I have yet to read Uglies series just because I haven't had the best experiences with dystopian books. DX

Thank you so much for the giveaway! I would love to get Ink if the chance. XD A book that has greatly, GREATLY affected so much of me and the way I view life is Nothing by Janne Teller. I greatly recommend it to you, but I must warn you, it's a very dark book and gave my chills.

aww, thanks Delaney! I'm getting better now & I will try not too :) Yeah I wanted to reread The great Gatsby before the movie came out but didn't get the chance :P AND NO! U really should TRY Uglies, believe me I thought I was going to hate it but it surprised me & it's more sci-fi/utopian than Dystopian. AND :O A book that is dark and chill-inducing COUNT ME IT! Will def have to check that book out :) Thanks for stopping by Delaney MUCH BLOGGY <333!

Thanks for the fun giveaway and post! I'm from the Midwest which is currently in tornado and thunderstorm season... yuck!!! I'm very interested in Seige and Storm b/c I just got book 1 or Ink b/c I've been reading such great reviews :)

I would really like Siege and Storm. I loved Shadow and Bone and just have to continue the story immediately. :D I'm from California. I think I would say the Uglie series has impacted my life the most. It's the first YA books that I ever bought and it is this series that has gotten me to be such a huge fan of the genre today. I obviously read books before but it wasn't until I bought this series a while back that I really started to jump way more into reading. Thanks for the giveaway! :D

OMG! An UGLIES FAN! YAY *Let me hug you* Really glad it introduced you to the genre and made you want to read more :D I <333 Shadow & Bone and can't wait to read Book 2 too! Thanks for stopping by Evette! Much <333!

I think i would choose either Siege & Storm or Ink!! im in the Us- viginia The book In The Forest Of The Night by Amelia Atwater Rhodes made an impact on my life.. I think it was my first book i had read that wasnt required by school and i had enjoyed it so much that it began my reading more and more..Now i dont go a single night without reading.. thanks for the giveaway!!

I would choose Siege & Storm, thank you for the giveaway! I'm in California. Well I read To Kill a Mockingbird in seventh grade, that book has such a huge influence and I read Brave New World my senior year of high school and that introduced me to the science fiction genre which I'm now totally in love with.

I would pick The Testing. So many books at different times of my life have made an impact on me. The first book that I can recall was Gone With The Wind. All my friends were crushing on teen heartthrobs and I was in love with Rhett Butler. My love of plantation homes started with Tara. Reading Divergent got me hooked on dystopians and reading Twilight got me hooked on vampires. Life Code by Dr. Phil was eye opening for me and helped me understand some things I had to deal with in the past.

I think that I would have to go with Ink, but may change my mind and choose Crown of Midnight! SO, thank you for the chance and the great choices! I live in South Carolina, and I love it. And I think that most books that I read have some impact on my life. Even if it is small. I try to go into a book with an open mind, and an open heart. There are lessons everywhere, books included!

I live on Long Island, NY and would love to win Crown of Midnight or the Testing. The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander I would say had the greatest impact on me. I read I started reading them in 3rd grade and they totally turned me into the book addict that I am to this day.

I would take either Crown of Midnight or Siege and Storm :)The book that had the biggest impact on me would have to be Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Seriously life-changing. And I live in Arizona (Phoenix) :D

I would love to win Crown of Midnight! The book with the greatest impact on me was To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I never really took anything involving African-Americans and Civil Rights seriously until I read that book. Live in Pennsylvania.

:O I HAVE THE BOOK THIEF *actually I have 2 copies* and still haven't read it yet >_< *dang TBR pile monster*ANd i'm reading crown of midnight right now & AH! U MUST READ IT! Thanks for stopping by Lacey, much <3!

I'm from Alabama. And... I cannot decide between Siege & Storm (eeep!) and Crown of Midnight (a little bit less eep! but still eep!)1 book that changed my life? Um. I have no idea. Probably the first romance book I stole from my mother's room in middle school. haha. Turned me to romance novels. I cannot possibly remember which book was the first. I have read a lot of them over the years. (: <3

LOL, can totally understand the NEED for Siege & Storm, ME WANT IT BAD TOO :P AND woah Alice in Wonderland was SO amazing! I can see why it was life changing :) AND YAY TEXAS! Thanks for dropping by Sarah, MUCH <3!
